CHEF JOHN'S GRILLED MOJO BEEF
This Cuban-inspired mojo marinade would work great as an all-purpose marinade for just about anything destined for the grill, but skirt steak is my top choice.

Steps:
- Cut skirt steaks into about 3 or 4 smaller pieces so it's easier to fit them into marinade dish.
- Whisk orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, cumin, pepper, oregano, and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Place skirt steak pieces, 1 at a time, into the marinade to thoroughly coat them. Add sliced onions and toss with the meat.
- Transfer mixture and marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out air, seal bag, and place on a dish. Refrigerate 2 to 3 hours.
- Transfer pieces of meat onto paper towel-lined rimmed sheet pan to drain for a couple of minutes.
- Cook over hot coals. Grill first side 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and grill second side until internal temperature is about 125 degrees F (53 degrees C). Look for a shiny glossy surface indicating the meat juice is coming to the surface; this indicates the meat is just about done. Transfer to a plate and allow meat to rest a few minutes.
- Slice into 1/2-inch slices and arrange on a serving plate. Spoon accumulated juices over the meat. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

- Skewer the beef: When skewering the beef, be sure to alternate the pieces of meat with vegetables, such as onions, peppers, and tomatoes. This will help to keep the kabobs moist and flavorful.
- Cook the kabobs over medium heat: Cooking the kabobs over medium heat helps to prevent them from becoming dry or overcooked. You can cook the kabobs on a grill, in a skillet, or in the oven.
- Serve the kabobs with a dipping sauce: A dipping sauce is a great way to add extra flavor to the kabobs. You can use a variety of dipping sauces, such as a simple mixture of olive oil and lemon juice, or a more complex sauce with ingredients like yogurt, spices, and herbs.
